"paint with passion + purpose" -david garibaldi

being that i am very attracted to dance as a form of expression, when i came across david garibaldi's work, i couldn't resist it. a performance artist, garibaldi specializes in creating his masterpieces in front of an audience of hundreds to music. his most recent creation that took my breath away was that in remembrance of the King Of Pop entitled "pop trilogy" (shown above). word to concreteloop.com for acknowledging such talent and sophistication. as stated on his website, most of his inspiration comes from graffiti, music, dance and hip hop. in april of this year, garibaldi performed on the 700 club a portrait of christ. this dude is definitely off the chain. his artwork is also featured on shirts sold at metropark. he has traveled all over the country, opening for the blue man group and snoop dogg just to name a few. check him out for yourself =]

May He Rest in Peace... <3

Today was probably one of the most emotional days in entertainment history that the world has experienced and the crazy thing is, we all experienced it together, world wide. This was truly a tribute fit for a King - from the spoken words to the performances, it truly shows how much of an impact that Michael Jackson really had on the world as a whole. One of my favorite MJ songs is "Human Nature" and I must say that John Mayer played the heck out of his guitar. Usher's performance also brought me to tears. But as I have said many times before, Michael Jackson's music, legacy philanthropy, creativity & genius will live in the hearts of millions and millions of people around the world forever. As I read in a tweet today, and I must agree- MJ's music is in my DNA, and I will never ever shake that. The man's is timeless, and he will sorely be missed. May God hold and keep you deep in his arms Michael, for He has brought you home to rest and be free. We love & miss you.

R.I.P. - The King of Pop 1958-2009

I never, EVER thought that I would see this day coming, but Michael Jackson, an iconic staple in music across the world, has passed away at the age of 50. As a dancer and music fien, I couldn't believe the words as they crossed my BlackBerry screen. Words cannot even begin to express how I'm feeling right now but I know that his soul is resting in a better place. All my prayers, condolences and thoughts are with the Jackson family in their time of grief. The world will never forget you Michael, your music and spirit will live on for eternity. Rest in Peace.
